1292. Deputy Michael McCarthy asked the Minister for Education and Skills the position regarding a request for documentation by a person (details supplied); the assistance her Department may be able to provide to ensure that there are no undue delays with this request; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [31526/15]
Amharc ar fhreagraIt is a matter for the National University of Ireland (NUI) to provide translations of any documents issued by it on behalf of NUI Galway. I have no role in the day to day operations of the NUI or of the universities, as the relevant legislation provides that they are autonomous in the performance of their functions.
However, on receipt of the translation of her degree this person may then contact my Department at the following address, Higher Education – Policy and Skills, Department of Education and Skills, Training College Building, Marlborough Street, Dublin 1, DO1 RC96, in order to make the necessary arrangements to have her degree stamped by an official of the Department. Once contact has been made there will be no delay in carrying out this function.
